About this ebook
Mr Bolton and his faithful dog, George, are just popping down to the shops. He forgot his keys, but Mrs Bolton will be there to let them in like always. But on the way back, George notices something wrong - they turned right when they should have turned left, bringing them farther from home. To make things worse, it's beginning to look like rain. The old friends set off on a journey across Dublin and through their memories, which seem to be disappearing one by one...

Tá rudaí ann agus cuimhníonn sé orthu.
An iall le cur orm, mar shampla. Na málaí cumhra ar fhaitíos go mbeidh timpiste ann. A chuid toitíní. Cuireann sé an lastóir i bpóca cúil a bhríste, ach cuireann sé a lámh ar phóca brollaigh a léine i dtosach agus é ag iarraidh teacht air.
Gach uair.
Ní dóigh liom go gcuimhníonn sé cén t-ainm atá orm. Seoirse. Sin mise. Ainm é a bhfuil sé éasca dearmad a dhéanamh air. Is dócha gur cheart dom a bheith buíoch nach é ‘Rógaire’ nó ‘Smuitín’ a tugadh orm. Nó ‘Plobairín’ mar a tugadh ar an gcréatúr bocht in uimhir caoga a seacht. Nár lige Dia go dtabharfaí.
Tá beagán dínite ag baint leis an ainm Seoirse mar sin féin.
Téann sé ar a leathghlúin le mo thaobh agus é ag fáisceadh na héille ar mo choiléar. Cloisim cnagarnach a chuid cnámh. Bhuel, ní ag éirí níos óige atáimid. Cuireann sé a lámha ar mo chluasa agus slíocann sé iad. Faigheann sé greim ar ráille an staighre agus tarraingíonn sé aníos é féin.
Séideann an ghaoth tríd an halla nuair a osclaíonn sé an doras tosaigh. Tá a sheaicéad ar an mbord sa halla. Fágann Bean Uí Shé ansin dó é. Cuireann sé air é agus dúnann sé an zip. Tá cuma an fhuachta air cheana féin. Tá a chuid méar geal craptha. Tá an ceart aici. Is iad na toitíní a chuirfidh den saol é. Tá imrothlú a chuid fola go dona.
‘Tar uait, a bhuachaill,’ ar seisean agus déanann sé an smeach sin a dhéanann daoine lena dteanga. Níor casadh aon mhadra orm fós a déarfadh gur smeach é a thaitníonn leis. Croithim m’eireaball ar aon nós. Taitníonn sé sin leo nuair a dhéanaimid sin. Tagann aoibh an gháire air. Ní gáire mór é anois ach gáire beag, cuimhne ar gháire. Cromann sé, tarraingíonn sé ceann de mo
